James Turner up forward?! Interesting.

And why such a pathetic crowd?

Jimmy Turner played full forward at Mclaren Vale (his local club) when he was in the U/17's before starting with South in the juniors. He has got excellent hands.

Personally, I reckon JT was superb in this game. And I thought Andy Otten was fairly quiet, but I did have a few beers.

This may be harsh but I think one of the golden rules in footy or sport in general is to respect your opposition. I feel that Glenelg failed dismally in this area on Saturday.
South had four 19 year olds, one 18 year old and one 17 year old in the side on saturday. Three of the above,Boyd, Redigolo and Rolfe would have been high in Souths best players.Heartening signs for the future.

By all reports B&W, this Boyd is someone South will want to have around for a long time...

Looking at the overall stat numbers, I think South would have had two or three of the biggest stat winners on the day, which is quite unlike Glenelg this season...testament to South for stemming the influence of our big ball winners...
